How do I clean the throwing wheels on my SPORTSATTACK Strike Attack Soccer Machine?

[LaDeclan]

Maintaining your SPORTSATTACK Strike Attack Soccer Machine is key to its performance, and cleaning the throwing wheels is a vital part of that. Here's how to do it safely and effectively: First, gather your supplies: you'll need a 1-inch putty knife, a small can of Methyl Ethyl Ketone (M.E.K.), and a hair dryer or heat gun. Always start by unplugging the machine from the power source. Next, use the hair dryer or heat gun on a high setting to warm up the ball material buildup on one wheel until it softens. Gently use the putty knife to loosen and peel off the softened material. Then, dampen a rag or paper towel with M.E.K. and wipe the wheel clean, removing any remaining residue. Ensure the machine remains unplugged and the wheels are not rotating during this process. For wheels with heavy buildup, you may need to repeat the cleaning steps. Safety first: always wear protective gear, such as safety glasses, when working with chemicals like M.E.K., and carefully follow the manufacturer's safety instructions for all chemicals.
